Fireflies TCC a rainbow baby

[ajarvis]

Your welcome! I hope it goes easy for you. It was slightly uncomfortable, but mostly just with the feeling to go sit on the toilet and that's where most of it happened. In a sense I'm glad I bled for so long cause I think from what I read it helped make it not so bad.

 

[steph.]

My first I was meant to be 8w but baby was measuring 6 (although it still had a hb when I started bleeding). I felt a really bad cramp, went to the toilet, and it fell out. It felt a bit like passing a boiled egg, I managed to fish it out using an empty loo roll, it was smooth a bit like liver. I looked through it but didn't find the embryo (i guess 3mm is a bloody mess is hard to find). This time I was meant to be 7 weeks but at a scan exactly a week ago baby was measuring 6w with a hb, so similar to my first but what I passed looked very different. I had some bad cramps while sitting on the couch, then I got up to change dd's nappy and felt something coming out. Pulled my pants down right there and then and could see some tissue hanging out so I went to the loo and put in on some toilet paper. It was really tough tissue, like really strong, and it was attached to what looked like a red jellybean (i think this was the sac). Anyway at that point dd2 came toddling in and tried to grab it so I chucked it into the loo, wish I had taken a picture first. I don't know why the two mcs looked so different, I really hope I've passed everything this time.

Wine and chocolates sound like a perfect way to pass the time sunshine, hope it won't be too much longer.

Ajarvis, 18k?!?!?!? Holy crap, I almost die to run 5!

Thanks for the info Steph and ajarvis. Again so sorry to have you give me that info. I appreciate it very much. It's definitely in full force now but I'm just relaxing and resting.

Can't go wrong with wine and chocolates no wine tonight though. I was hoping to go to the gym tomorrow but I'll wait a few days now until this stops. Will just enjoy the rest

 

[ajarvis]

lol. Steph. I'm training for a half marathon on Feb 7th.

Sunshine happy to share. I found alot of help being able to read similar experiences, as well as what to expect. My sister in law had a very similar miscarriage, but had a d&c so wasn't sure what the actual passing would be like.

Wine and chocolates are always good Just don't go to hard on the booze as that's what I did the first night I found out and bam sick as a dog for the next 3 weeks.

My story of my experience s on the previous page in a spoiler.

 

[mummy2o]

Thanks for the info NDH. I love the hope of being extra fertile. However after my last d&c it took 3 months to get pregnant and I had a mc. Not to be a downer, but just makes me more skeptical personally. Hope thar was just bad luck pour moi though.

How long ago did you ladies mc that are thinking you're about to O? It's wonderful! I had no idea it could happen that quickly. I guess because I'm still beginning to mc it seems to far off for me. I would just expect another month or so before things started to go back to normal.

I think I've ovulated Saturday, but won't know until tomorrow as FF does 3 days after the event. I'll be happy if I did as I DTD Wednesday, Friday-Monday so I would say I have good odds.

I would also love a November baby! Although i have gone into labour at 36 and 37 weeks before so who knows, i could end up with another October baby. I would happily take any date this year actually, i don't even care if the baby comes on Christmas day!

I know what you mean. Any baby this year. Although if I don't get pregnant by March I would like to be pregnant by his due date, which is only May so that's not long either!

Thanks Steph. It gives me hope I'm bleeding red now. Some clots but nothing too crazy. Not too too much either. Just like af really. Slight cramps but nothing that makes me want to cry (yet)

Going to call my dr tomorrow to tell him it's started naturally. I'm so thankful. DH is happy too. He knows I'd prefer this this time. It's very different from my last experience. I'm just happy my body is being semi normal this go around. What can I expect with clotting and the sac? Sorry if that's too difficult just helps if I know what to watch for. If that makes sense.

MC is hard enough no matter how it happens. As hard as it was to find my beautiful Little Bean floating in the toilet and then passing the placenta later, at least I was able to have a funeral for him/her and to say goodbye properly. I cannot imagine having to turn myself over to the hands of cold medical professionals so they could take care of my unviable pregnancy. For this, Sunshine, as hard and as awful as MC is, I am happy for you. May things continue to progress naturally and may you be well!

I'm still waiting for Daniels funeral, but that is delayed due to a post mortum, so won't be having anything done until Feb-Mar time! Although the grieve is gone, more or less still get my moments as I'm only human, I bet it will all come flooding back when I get a date for it. I still haven't seen him yet. I've got photos on a memory stick, but just haven't had the nerve to see him yet, but then I feel guilty for not seeing him. I really can't win at times.

My early miscarriage I bleed a week before I miscarried. Then one day I was sitting and felt a full gush coming out of me, went to the toilet and couldn't see anything on the pad, but I believe that was the day I lost my baby as bleeding started to ease up. I bleed for another 2 weeks, and some spotting. Then bleed 11 hours prior to ovulation due to retained product that came out. Most scary thing that happened to me as it was a massive clot the size of my fist more or less. I thought I was dying at the time
Well this one is different just due to being a late miscarriage and that's fine to. Although I really didn't want to give birth in the A&E Christmas eve.

Sunshine I hope it was just bad luck and I hope and next time you will get your rainbow baby if you are MC naturally this time then you will be able to try straight away, eat well take your supplements and get plenty of rest

Hope everyone else is doing ok

Thanks Niamh. How are you feeling?

Has anyone heard anything about baby asprin? I know of a girl who kept having mc's and as far as I know she didn't have testing done. She began taking baby asprin when she found out she was pregnant and went on to have a healthy baby. I'm curious about it. DH is against it until I have testing done, and says it's not good to take it unless you need it. As it can be dangerous and cause too much bleeding, but I'm still curious to know more about it!

 

[sunshine2014]

And I agree, I'd take a healthy baby any time of the year!!

I'm enjoying a nice tea, hope you ladies are safe from your crazy storm!

I am good back home after a mad dash to the bank my poor DS is not well either but he fell asleep with the walk so that is good I should start doing a big clean I did very little last week but I love crocheting and knitting and that is calling to me as well this morning

I know some women with certain problems baby aspirin really helps, it would be worth asking your doctor I did a quick google and they think it helps increase blood flow to the placenta and helps were implantation may be a problem they did do a study but got no clear results but they did not look at exactly how aspirin helps or try it on anyone with a specific problem were aspirin could helphttp://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/275317.php

and https://www.babyhopes.com/articles/reasons-to-use-baby-aspirin-if-you-are-trying-to-conceive.html

You know it is worth looking in to esp for anyone who has suffered more than 1 MC

 

[steph.]

Sunshine I agree with your dh, I'm a medic too, and wouldn't take it unless I was under a specialist. Have you managed to get an appointment with the specialist yet?

Mummy2o the loss of your son at 19weeks must have been so hard to go through, I can't even imagine...and on Christmas Eve too Don't feel guilty for not looking at the pictures yet. One day, when you feel stronger, maybe with your rainbow in your arms, you will. Don't put any pressure on your self hun, there is no right or wrong.

 

[sunshine2014]

Thanks Niamh and Steph. I do not have my appt yet, it won't be until after my first af. Then they will be able to start testing. We'll see. I suppose I should mention it to my dr first.

Niamh - I love crocheting too, but I am not very good lol. I've only ever made a square, and a wonky one at that. I'd like to start again though. Which one do you find easier? Crocheting or knitting?

 

[steph.]

I'm seeing a recurrent mc specialist next week and I'll ask her if it's ok to start taking it before the test results come back,what dose ect then I'll let you know. I hope she lets me take it, at least psychologically it would help!

Ohhh, you're looking into baby asprin too Steph? Then sure! Let me know what she says. Thanks!

 

[CelticNiamh]

I seem to have missed post from over night and just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing

Mummy20 all I want to do is give you a great big hug what an awful time you have had, MC is hard but I do think it is much harder the further you are! but I think you got in some good baby dancing and hope to see a BFP as soon as possible

Sunshine I think crochet is quicker and I do find it easier, youtube is great that is how I learnt to crochet my mum was a brilliant knitter so I am trying to practice as much as I can I have all her wool and needles and patterns one day I will be as good as she was

Also think my sore boobs is not anything to do with OV think it might be a blocked duct or something like that as it is only in one and not my nipples it is very sore though, no fever or anything
notice my CM is more like ewcm but still stained but think that is also to do with MC than impending OV could be wrong though

actually when can you BD again ?

My story:

On 30th December I was in great spirits watching a film with hubby in bed. Went to the loo and found brown when I wiped I instantly was filled with dread. I told hubby and he was like 'that could be normal' it is weird but I knew from the moment I got my bfp something was wrong. I bled sometimes spotting sometimes heavier sometimes nothing for 7 days then once red and pink. I tried to remain positive but knew deep down. On 6th January I knew I was losing my baby. 2 days prior ridiculously sore cramp in lower tummy and back and had the urge to push like pressure low Down in my bum like when your in labour. In the morning heavy red blood I'm so thankful my husband was at home I had a cup at the ready passed 6 massive clots first, then the sac followed could feel more pressure with that see through sac with membrane and veins over it sorry ladies if tmi I know some woman want to open it to find baby but I just couldn't. Then a lot more pressure I passed a pretty decent size placenta. People think if you hear swooshing on the Doppler all is fine not true heard this just before. I've passed a couple of clots since then and very heavy bleeding that is easing off now and one big hard clot passed on Saturday night.

 

[CelticNiamh]

So I did 2 more pregnancy test today to see how all was going and they are still positive but I think fainter letting them dry so I can compare in a bit

 

[sunshine2014]

that's good Niamh! Keep dropping hcg!!!

Afm - I just called my dr and insisted that I wanted to postpone my d&c. The receptionist said she would check with him and call me back. I waited 45 minutes, sooo nervous and getting more flustered with each minute. She called me back and said he wanted me to go in for an u/s tomorrow to see if it was progressing and whether we still needed the d&c Wednesday. I got really upset and told her there hasn't been enough passed for an U/S tomorrow to show that. I told her I wanted to wait, and I know that it won't be enough based on what I've seen. And that I wanted to postpone. She put me back on hold and checked again. finally, he agreed to give me an u/s next Monday and then we'll re book the d&C if not enough has passed. I'm so thankful. It at least gives me a week to see what happens. If my body doesn't do enough then of course I'll have the surgery. Just want to give it time. She wasn't too impressed with me, but I'm feisty and I'll fight for what I want.
